Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Texas as an A&P mechanic?
Lockheed Martin assembles the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter in Fort Worth, Texas, where it delivered a record 191 jets in 2025, surpassing the program's previous high of 142. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Texas can supervise on-the-job training where you log experience toward your A&P certificate under 14 CFR 65.77.
Do I need to attend an A&P school in Texas?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Texas include St. Philip's College (San Antonio), Hallmark University (San Antonio), Texarkana College (Texarkana), Aviation Institute of Maintenance (Irving), Aviation Institute of Maintenance (Houston), Tarrant County College — Northwest (Fort Worth), Del Mar College (Corpus Christi), Texas State Technical College (Waco), Texas State Technical College (Abilene), Texas State Technical College (Harlingen), US Aviation Academy (Denton), Dallas College (Dallas), LeTourneau University (Longview), Amarillo College (Amarillo), MIAT College of Technology (Houston), Thrust Institute of Maintenance (Addison), Chennault Aviation Maintenance Academy (Conroe), Midland College (Midland), Southwest Texas Junior College (Del Rio), Crowley Academy of Aviation (Crowley), Skyline Aviation (San Angelo), Skyline Career Development Center (Dallas). You don't have to attend one — the FAA also recognizes documented on-the-job training under 14 CFR 65.77 as a path to A&P eligibility.
How on-the-job training works anywhere in the U.S. — the hours, the FAA tests, and what you need to start — is in our A&P on-the-job training guide.
